Network Technical Difficulties Caused by DDoS Attacks (Oct. 26)

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties due to a DDoS attack.
Players may experience the following issues as a result.

Though we have been able to counter the attack somewhat, it appears the high volume of disruption has caused a network disconnection at the upper tier ISP.

We will continue to monitor the situation and coordinate with the upper tier ISP to resolve the situation.

More information will be provided as the situation develops.
